Mrs. Maud Garrison Commits
Suicide at Butte City,
Montana.

Among the mail matter received by
City Marshal jackson this morning
was the following:
"CAsNo THEATRE, ST.. LOUIS, May 8, 1887.
Chief Of Polite:
Please inform Miss Jennie Neal of your
city, that her sister, Maud Garrison, COM
mitted suicide at Butte City, Montana,
Saturday. Don't know her address.
Yours, JAMEs>RiCHMoND,
} @ Manager Casino"
On hearing of the message report
er was dispatched to find Jennie, but
learned that she had left last night for
Fort Scott, Kansas. A telegram had
been sent here for her from Eva STAN
ford, companion of Maud's, who was
in Montana with her, stating simply
that Maud had died there Saturday
evening. The message was sent Sat
urday, bnt by some means failed to
reach her before she left and
is still in the hands of her landlady,
Mrs. Foster, who sent Jennie postal
card to-day conveying the message.
Mrs. Foster expressed herself strong
ly skeptical as to Maud's suicide
and says she was subject to violent
attacks of illness of q female character
that she believes might have killed
her. But the chances are that it
was case of suicide as stated, as
Maud's history is a strange and
checkered one for girl of nineteen
years of age.
